THURSDAY

• 9 p.m.: Paul M. writes: "Hi, like many of your other comments we too have not seen one JCP&L truck in Roxbury township. Downed trees on power lines remain untouched since the storm. I think it’s time for our elected officials to begin questioning JCP&L on their recovery plan and pressuring them to begin restoring power to residences. I know I will be voting on Tuesday regardless of power or not and depending on the current state of affairs it will dictate my vote.If I am without power then I will be voting against all incumbents (I think I’m already at the point of voting them all out). This is insane, between no power and gas shortages, we are currently reduced to third-world living conditions!"

• 8:30 p.m.: We had a few comments sent to us today that never got on the site because of heavy volume. Our apologies for the delay. We hope each of these people is in better condition now:

• Siddharth Patel wrote around 3:22 p.m.: "I live in Village Green Apartments in Budd Lake, NJ. This apartment community has around 1200 units. All out of power to date, since Monday 7 p.m. We see slow to no progress from JCPL for power recovery in the entire town."• Lorenna Garcia wrote: "As of 3 p.m. on Thursday there is still no power in Dover, the kids have been out of school for the week, and i have seen ZEROOOOOO JCP&L trucks even though i watched the transformer blow up from my daughter's window. In Dover, what is going on? And they can't even give a time frame besides 7 to 10 days. What is that all about????? I literally watched News 12 NJ and saw the number stay at 965K for more than a day. Are they working on it or not?????"• Brian Oeckel wrote around 2:30 p.m.: "Been with out power since Monday at 5 in White Meadow Lake section of Rockaway. As I drove around looking for gas and food today, the same trees and wides are down blocking roads. I drove from my home in White Meadow Lake, to Rockaway Mall, to Dover ShopRite, to Wharton ShopRite and home, and didn't see one truck From JCP&L or the township. Every cop is dealing with gas station traffic instead of assisting the public. I have not heard one word from a town official. And the only thing JCP&L tells us is that we are on the list and they sent 'scouters' to assess damage. Feeling left in the dark about this whole mess! Literally!"• A reader in Rockaway Township told us at about 1 p.m.: "I have not seen a JCP&L truck. Power lines down all over White Meadow Lake but no sign of help."• Michael Flynn wrote around 11 a.m.: "In any residential area of Long Hill Township, Long Hill Road and Valley Road are both passable .Tree cutting crews came through on Tuesday . I have not seen a single JCP&L truck since storm — and I'm on Long Hill Road."

• 8 p.m.: Xavier McKinney writes: "Ledgewood, New Jersey still has no power since Monday 9 p.m.

• 7 p.m.: Andie from Boonton writes: "No power and no signs of restoration. There are wires hanging everywhere. This is a nightmare."

• 6:45 p.m.: Roshan wrote us earlier today: "I live in Parsippany and I didn't see any home getting power since Monday. Even Parsippany water department does not have power since Monday. And still they don't. There are live wires on Route 46 still and no JCPL staff is there to fix it since 3 days." Note: In the time since Roshan sent this, we got word some parts of Parsippany are getting power back.

• 6:35 p.m.: Kyle from Whippany writes: "Appear Whippany (Hanover Township) is without power. A huge tree down on lines on Parsippany Road, only way out is Route 10. Frustrated w/no updates from JCP&L East Hanover without power also. Parsippany road backed up off 287 over a mile with lines for gas. Wawa on new rd in parsippany one of the only gas stations, with 3-hr lines minimum."

• 6:19 p.m.: Robin from Denville writes: "We have been without power since 3 p.m. Monday in our neighborhood. Trees took down power lines power workers came by but could not restore our power as trees were still down. I am on disability from a liver transplant & my mother in law next street over has Alzheimer's & her husband has vision deficiencys. How much lnger is this gonna take. If the tres were taken care of we could have possibly had power. I think they prepared for flooding & forgot about other problems."

• 6:13 p.m.: Tony Santillo writes: "No JCPL at all in Florham Park. We have been without power since, 8 pm on Monday. This is extremely frustrating!"

• 6:06 p.m.: Katie Zawistoski writes: "Still no sign of a JCP&L truck in Budd Lake. Trees are still down with live wires. No sign of getting power back anytime soon"

• 6 p.m.: Another reader tells us via morris@nj.com "JCP&L only counts outages if customers call in. That’s why count is going up as more and more frustrated customers call or ‘register’ outage over the internet. No sighting of JCP&L trucks on side streets since Tuesday. Ross Drive is out while nearby streets are OK. What gives?"

• 6p.m: Shoshanna Schiff writes: "Just saw some jcp&l workers on Changebridge Road. They said they were about to energize parts of Pine Brook. I hope they do!"

• 5:40 p.m.: Reader Trina tells us via morris@nj.com: "Florham Park is completely without power and it seems that everything surrounding it (Whippany and East Hanover) has also no power. Route 10 (near target, Marshall's and Home Depot) are out as well with intersection traffic lights not working.We haven't heard/seen any news as to when we will get power back and it is getting chilly!"

• 5:30 p.m.: Power was
restored today to large sections of Lake Hiawatha and Lake Parsippany, police say. Utility
work will continue restoring services well into next week.

• 5 p.m: We've gotten a LOT of messages at @NJ_Morris on Twitter about power in the last few hours:

• @smokeygonny: @NJ_Morris #njstorm no power in Morris county on rt 46 from Main St. Wharton through Howard Blvd in Mt. Arlington. What gives @JCP_L ?• @MissCrystalian: @NJ_Morris @jcp_l #Frustrated #Dover not even on their radar!• @MissCrystalian: @NJ_Morris @jcp_l yes we are frustrated. No estimated restoration time. Limited resources. Limited food supply. People are getting desperate• @smokeygonny: @NJ_Morris @JCP_L #njstorm they have a canned response of 7days for restoration. Not using social feeds to their advantage like pse&g.• @Commutered: @NJ_Morris are you surprised with @jcp_l? Best predictor of future behavior is past behavior & their performance in Irene was inexcusable.‏• @MyRight2SpeakUp: @NJ_Morris @jcp_l HopatcongNJ is 100% w/o power& shelter is low on fuel @GovChristie @NJ_Morris @nj1015news not 1 utility truck in town• @SJUEd: @NJ_Morris @jcp_l ya think, no communication and no power. How should we feel?• @GeorgeCWang: @NJ_Morris @JCP_L They had a couple of trucks fix our block in Flanders yesterday. All good since then.• @Dawn378: @NJ_Morris Warming up and charging at Tabor pizza on rt 53 in Morris Plains.

I'm a little late with the update‏• @Jrempire: @NJ_Morris Went to Berg. cty ystrdy. Terrible. Went out rt 80 tdy in Pa. Awesome!‏• @SJUEd: @NJ_Morris when will chatham be up and running? 7-14 days is NOT and acceptable answer. @jcp_l no answers no customer service.• @DrTurtleCheeks: @NJ_Morris The only thing worse than no service is no answers. @JCP_L keeps regurgitating the same scripted B.S.• @MelissyDoodles: @NJ_Morris yes ive seen 4 @JCP_L trucks on my street in chatham borough but none have stopped!• @bethk127: @NJ_Morris still no power in Florham Park

• 4:30 p.m.: Kelli Hunter writes to us by e-mail: "Thought I'd share that i Just received a notice on my door that said 'JCP&L is aware of the power and cable outage in Florham Park but is unable to give restoration time frames. They are trying to restore power as quickly as possible statewide.' I'm thinking Florham Park will stay dark for quite a while longer. I hear that the Livingston Mall has power. Yes, let's power up the mall but to heck with the residential neighborhoods.

Feeling very discouraged."

• 4:12 p.m.: Donna Stringer writes to morris@nj.com: "Seems like most of the large business and shopping center areas have had power restored while residential areas have not. I find it funny that if JCP&L has so many people and trucks out working, that people are stumbling over them. I am starting to think they are like the Emperor's New Clothes. I keep seeing the number if people without power increasing on the JCP&L outage map for Town of Boonton, yet they keep saying they are restoring power and that the majority of the town has power, I find that hard to believe when there are no lights including street lights in all the neighborhoods and a portion of 287."

• 4:10 p.m.: Prashant Trivedi of Parsippany writes to morris@nj.com: "I reside in Glenmont Commons off Old Dover Road. 2/3 of our complex is without power, and predominately all of the residences in the Powder Mill area is still without power. We lost our power at 9 p.m. on Monday night and this tree is most likely to blame for it"

• 3:14 p.m.: Kim S. of Boonton writes to morris@nj.com: "We've been without power since 7:30 Monday night. Our home is freezing. A few stores on main st have power now, but I have yet to see any homes with it."

• 3 p.m.: Frank Giambrone wrote to morris@nj.com a few hours ago: "I live in Lake Hopatcong on Route 15. I have not seen JCP&L anywhere near me so I doubt I will have electric today. My whole block is without power. Gas stations near my house are all out of gas or are without power. The only place with power is the fire station which runs on generators. The only good thing about all this is I can see all of the stars in the sky at night.

• 2:50 p.m.: Power is restored to most of Route 23, up Boonton Avenue and into parts of Fayson Lakes, Kinnelon reported this morning.

• 2:30 p.m.: Timothy Lake writes to morris@nj.com: "Power was restored to select parts of Lake Hiawatha as of 5:30 a.m. this morning. (not sure if its still on ... at work right now). Traffic Lights have been restored to full working order in the town of Lake Hiawatha. At 8 a.m., lines for gasoline at the shell station in Lake Hiawatha on North Beverwick went as far back as Vail Road."

• 2:10 p.m.: Denise Rugel writes to morris@nj.com: "I feel that our area (Roxbury Township) has been either under-reported or not at all. The Landing section of Roxbury Township has been without power since around 6 p.m. on Monday. I haven't seen a single JCP&L truck! Traffic lights from Mount Arlington to Commerce Blvd/Main S.t aren't working. JCP&L has to do something with our area fast. I have reported the same outage every day and I'm sure my neighbors are doing the same but I don't hear much about Roxbury, so it feels useless and frustrating."

• 2:10 p.m.: Fred Doster writes to morris@nj.com: "No power in Chatham Twp. on River Road. Large condo complexes. 500+ units, no power or JCPL workers since Mon at 6:30 p.m."

• 2:10 p.m.: Janice Aibel writes to us on morris@nj.com: "You ask about JCP&L. Where are they? Why aren't they working at night to get us running instead of "assessing" the problem? Montville is 90percent out of power from what I can see. I for one am losing patience with them. I have not seen one of their trucks here in town in four days.

• 2:05 p.m.: Steve Lauto writes to us on morris@nj.com: "I have been without power here in Rockaway Boro, Elycroft Avenue, since late Monday afternoon. Since Tuesday a.m. I have seen numerous Verizon repair crews. I have not seen one JCP&L truck out in Rockaway Boro. I understand the severity of the storm, but in such a modern era of technology I find it hard to believe that we, as paying customers, have to wait this long to have power restored. Once AGAIN, JCP&L have dropped the ball. Also, to all those who have power, please don't needlessly flaunt it. Like the gentleman who lives in Dover, on Mt. Hope aAenue who was watching his big screen tv last night with the blinds and curtains open so all others can watch ... Not cool sir!!!"

• 2 p.m.: Jeffrey Weininger writes to us on morris@nj.com: "Just when you think JCP&L couldn't get any worse, they do! Watching the numbers on TV there are virtually no reductions. Glad they restored area around Rockaway Mall. As a former emergency services worker this is the first time in 50 years that I've not seen one JCP&L in the Rockaway-Dover area, strange since they are based in Dover. I understand the massive problem, but there seems to be no progress! Since First Energy took over they gone from great to horrible. Where is the PUC?

• 1:50 p.m.: Ellen Goldberg of Long Valley says she hasn't seen any trucks. "I live in the sticks," she e-mailed us at morris@nj.com

• 1:40 p.m.: Theo Tilton told us via morris@nj.com: "There was three Ohio energy trucks on Phoenix this morning, they said they were attempting to restore power to everyone on this circuit. Hopefully by this afternoon. I'm hopeful! Our entire condo association has no electric. Burnham Park neighborhood is no power as well.

• 11:30 a.m.: Power has been restored to some sections of Madison, according to the police department.

"A huge tree down on lines on Parsippany Road, only way out is Route 10. (Frustrated with) no updates from (JCP&L)," Freda said. "East Hanover without power also. Parsippany Road backed up on Route 287 over a mile with lines for gas. Wawa on New Road in parsippany one of the only gas stations with three hour lines minimum."

• 11:22 a.m.: Donna Stringer took issue with the residential areas being a lower priority for JCP&L.

" Seems like most of the large business and shopping center areas have had power restored while residential areas have not," Stringer said. "I find it funny that if JCP&L has so many people and trucks out working, that people are stumbling over them. I am starting to think they are like the Emperor's new clothes. I keep seeing the number if people without power increasing on the JCP&L outage map for the Town of Boonton, yet they keep saying they are restoring power and that the majority of the town has power, I find that hard to believe when there are no lights including street lights in all the neighborhoods and a portion of (Route) 287."

from 3 p.m. Monday," Altis said. "Today will make it three full days.

Miglin" from Butler wrote us a little earlier today to say, "I live in

your power company been?

• 4:30 p.m.: We've had no power in Chatham twp since about 7 p.m. last night. — NJ.com user Mike Ridenour

As of 1:30 p.m., most of Morris County was still in the dark, thanks to Hurricane Sandy's whipping winds and strong rains.

Thousands
of outages were reported in just about every town, save Kinnelon and
Butler, according to outage maps from Jersey Centeral Power & Lights
and Public Service Electric & Gas.

Parsippany seemed to be
the hardest hit by outages, with more than 20,000 JCP&L customers
reporting loss of electricity, according to the company. The township
recently closed its shelter, however, and opened and a portable devices
charging center, police said.

Mount Olive wasn't too far behind.
The power company said more than 11,000 customers were without juice,
and police said trees and poles were still down in several areas.

A
slew of municipalities had fared much better as of Tuesday afternoon.
Randolph, Jefferson and Roxbury each had just less than 10,000 customers
without electricity while Montville, Kinnelon, Washington, Denville and
Rockaway each were reporting more than 5,000, JCP&L said.

Pequannock and Hanover had just less than 5,000 reported outages, the power company said.

Where is the power out by you? And how long has it been out? Tell us in the comments.Correction:
It was previously reported more than 50,000 JCP&L customers were
impacted by the power outages. More than 171,000 were without power in
Morris County as of 2:26 p.m. More resources
